Show us your Lou Gertenrich back Cards

[tiger8mush]

Bullet Joe Bush was my first pickup, from Leon in the spring of 2010. I've picked up a couple dozen since then mostly from fellow board members (plus a few on the way from REA) and eager to continue towards the set. I blame this on you Leon

Nice Judge, Val! Tough to come by ones with a clean back.

Sorry Brian, I haven't come across a Sisler.

Nice cards everyone! Rob, you must have a good portion of the known examples. That is a big accomplishment. Do you have a Ruth or Cobb yet?

Here is the Hank Gowdy Lou Gertenrich card I picked up from a group of 30 or so a seller listed individually on Ebay about 20 years ago. Each card had similar back damage due to scrapbook removal, as seen on this one. It seems like the back damage cards that are encountered from this rare set came from this grouping.

Rob, are most of your backs like the card you show with the tape mark piece on the back causing paper loss? I ask because I picked up one off of ebay of Elmer Miller, my great great uncle. Wonder if they were in the same collection?

Hi Ken,
Yes most of mine originated from the same find that Brian spoke about. You can check them out here:

Sounds like your Miller came from there as well.
